Navy.ca's Fallen Comrades

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old



I do not mean that we should build our country in the past but rather on the past. If we forget or ignore the traditions for which Canada has stood as a mighty bulwark against all the shock of time, then the splendour will fade and our usefulness will be no more.

- General Sir Arthur Currie
